Happy Monday

Still looking for my coffee cup. Following my nose into various rooms I have been in this morning. I am just now being able to locate things by smell. Like the dirty laundry that has piled up in the past few weeks. Sigh. I must be feeling better if I am thinking about doing laundry.

Guess you know what I will be doing today. And that should bring a smile to your face.

Have a good one.

Re: Monday!

Blondie, who wants to think about laundry this early in the morning! Glad you're feeling well enough to consider it though!

Today is tax school, grocery shopping and then maybe some time at my sewing machine. I'm working hard on the second baby quilt. It was a more involved pattern that I was thinking. But I am to the stage of squaring up all the blocks and then I can sew them together. That is my goal for today.

I posted a thread last night about our sewing group at church doing patriotic Christmas stockings for our military coming and going overseas. Hopefully you all will be able to find the post. We could use any help to get as many stockings made for them. I'm finding the new format of the forum extremely frustrating and know I'm missing posts all over the place. Any one else feel the same?

Well, I hope all have a great day!

Re: Monday!

Good Morning Everyone!

DH and I are both down with sinus infections. It must be the change of seasons.

We had a lovely slow weekend of sewing, watching movies and a race, playing with Miss Molly, who thinks we should spend every day like that!

I need to try to contact my LAQer again this morning. I believe she's been away on vacation for a couple of weeks. Now that it's cooler I have the bug to finish up some UFOs. I've spent lots of my time lately on the embroidery side of my new machine (Lola).

I need to get DH off to work and give Miss M her meds so she can go back to be for the morning. Wishing you all a great Monday...my day includes more than a little housework.....arghhhh!

Hugs, Barb

Re: Monday!

Good morning! So much talk of housework and laundry this morning! I need to be right in there with ya, but I gotta go to work. My laundry and housework gets done before and after work. There was another death of a young person, a 32 yr old male, in our community yesterday. The preliminary investigation is that he fell in a creek...I hope for the young man's family that it wasn't foul play.

Wishing everyone a great start to the week!

Re: Monday!

Good Morning all. TarButt decided I didn't need anymore sleep and got me up to let her out. She went outside, barked at the driveway and wanted back in!
Need to go to town today and run some errands but mainly we need FOOD! But I also need to get a couple things to finish up my gift for my SSS.
The temperature sure has cooled down now that fall is almost here. DH's brother and sister-in-law always have a fall party on the Saturday closest to the Equinox. It is a lot of fun, but too far for us to drive.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Hugs and prayers.

Re: Monday!

Good morning friends. I AM HOME!! After a wonderful week of fabric shopping and quilt shows, it is great to be home. Now to find a home for all my stuff. I did not go crazy on the fabrics, but I did buy a lot of notions. YUP laundry today. I think there is frost on the pumpkins here this morning. Well, I better get some work done around here. I am glad to be back but it may take me a week to get caught up here. If there is anything important that I have missed, please let me know. I missed you while I was away.

I don't know when the format changed but I LIKE IT!!

Hope we get to see some of your wonderful finds! Sometimes you find notions you never knew you needed, but are very glad to find at those shows!

Re: Monday!

Morning all.. Blondie... just know that this "sinus" thing seems to be NationWide... here in MA,,, lots of problems... and from listening to the forum... it's everywhere... your post about... realizing your age... ahem... is something we ladies do get hit with,,, but heck,, i just say... i'm doing the best i can.. and remember fondly what i DID do in my 30's and 40's and even 50's.. that some never could keep up with... i'm learning it's fun to get up and say... "what will i do today",,, and growl when there is actually something or more than one thing on the list!!!!!
Thanks to you girls,, i've got all the containers fitted under my quilt frame,, am now digging thru everything decided where to put them...i think this just might work..

Re: Monday!

Morning, all!
Babbs, my best to you! If you're anything like my DH, and his knee replacements, after everything is all said and done, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
I have to attend a class from 12-5 today. Complete day-drainer! I've got perennials that need to get planted, a kitchen floor that's calling my name, and all I really want to do is SEW.
I'll have to suck it up, and make the best of it. Perhaps a side trip to JoAnn's to check out the 'Richmond Collection', and stategically use my 15% off coupon (sale items included WOOHOO!)...

Re: Monday!

Gee, I sure hope Blondie finds her coffee cup. Have you noticed she's short without it? She mentioned a DIRTY word (how dare she) and I realized I had Al take the laundry baskets to the laundry room yesterday . . . guess I'd best start sorting and washing. I would rather be somewhere else, too. But the floors need cleaned and what else can I use rinse water for (joking around here, ladies).

Fall is definitely in the air - leaves are starting to turn here and they are about three to four weeks early. Al cleared the last two years of leaves around my garden shed yesterday and told me it would make it much easier to keep up with them this year. Having a place with hundreds of trees loosing their leaves is wonderful - it it wasn't so hard to keep them picked up. I have convinced Al in the past (only a couple times though) to let the wind blow them over to the neighbors . . . so if you wind up with truckloads of leaves some may have come from us. We use a Cyclone Rake attached to the mower and it mulches leaves. One year Al took 93 full loads to the compost - and then I convinced him to leave the doors open on the back and let the mulch fall where it may - it does add back to the soil and wasn't near as much hard work.

I didn't manage to get any sewing done over the weekend so I'm hoping I can get caught up on a few projects between laundry loads today. If not, I'm ignoring everything the rest of the week.

Sure hope everyone has a wonderful day and that health issues all are resolved, eased, healed, treated successfully and aches and pains eased.

KEEP ON QUILTING.

Re: Monday!

Getting back to normal around here. It's always hard for me to go to visitations and funerals. But part of this communities traditions to support the loved ones left behind.

Woke up to fog this AM. Fall is definiately here. Have a few household chores to do then get cleaned up for a Doctors visit. Just a wellness check for this 6 months. I did forget to get one test done.. bone density. Oh well, there still a few days left in this month.

Hugs to all and prayers going out to all.

Re: Monday!

Good Monday Morning! It's shaping up to be another beautiful 70 degree day here in the Pacific Northwest. I'm really loving the extension to Summer. We had a busy productive weekend of garage cleaning. Generated a truckload for the dump and same for Goodwill! My sewing space is nearly complete and I'll post pics when it is. I think I'm gonna like it! Seahawks won yesterday so everyone went to bed happy last night! Today I have to get caught up on all I neglected around the house while doing the garage....pet hair, laundry, kitchen floor, and and and......

Time to get my DGD motivated in the direction of school! Hope everyone has a wonderful day! I'm still over the moon about Tami's soldier quilt! What a wonderful group we have here! SO thankful!

Hugs and Prayers.....
